Our Library is Waiting for You!

Welcome

We have enjoyed welcoming students back to the Elementary School Library and meeting our new friends who have joined us at ASD. All classes have visited the library at least once now! And, we are thrilled to have our early morning and after school visitors.

Get ready to explore more than 700 new books in our library! We have fantastic new picture books, biographies, graphic novels, and junior fiction. We've also added new craft, coding, cooking and information books. There is something new and exciting for everyone.
Game On: Summer Reading Challenge

A big cheer for all of our students who joined the Game On Summer Reading Challenge! Thank you to all who have turned in their record sheets. It's not too late! Please stop by or email the records in if you have not yet done so. We'll begin celebrating students who took on the challenge by presenting certificates in library classes this week.

Reading is personal! And, we know that there are many unique ways to record reading. Every student that took on the reading challenge kept track of his or her reading in a different way. We appreciate our students' creativity and love seeing all the wonderful books they read over the summer. Here are just a few examples:

Take a look at some of the ways students show compassion, integrity, respect, responsibility and excellence in the the ES Library:
